yay for the Speaker!

This is truly good news -- though, I'm sorry to add, still not good enough -- about the House energy bill. It includes a rollback -- finally! -- on tax subsidies for big oil companies, and a provision requiring power utilities to deliver at least 15 percent renewable energy. Nancy Pelosi is a heroine to have done this, but bigger thinking is required. Remember, scientists tell us we need to cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50 percent as soon as possible.
